Chris it has never been about "Personality" - its a historic name that has stayed with the comp but everyone knows it is too awarded the Top Sportsman or woman of the year

Disagree. Has been about "personality" certainly in recent years

Really?
Andy Murray............................as much personality as a dead fish

Why's what? Why's he the favourite? Or why I said rightly so?
To answer and save time:
1. The odds on him winning are the lowest
2. Because I think he's achieved the most in his respective sport this year

Really ??
Murray - won because he won Wimbledon
Wiggins - Olympics and Tour De France ?
Who has won because of their "Personality"
If that was the case Mo Farah would have won it multiple times

Lineker wins golden boot at world cup and loses to Mansell who didn't even win the title that year. Ryan Giggs or Greg Rusedski.

1986 ?! Mansell doesnt have a personality
Neither does Rusedski or even Giggs
There might have been more deserved winners than them but they certainly didnt win because of their "Personality"

But you gave a list that said they deserved to win based on their performances. I'm just suggesting that sometimes people get the award when they've not necessarily achieved anything significant and won in their field. Therefore it must be based on something else and that's where the "personality" bit comes in

What list ?!
You said its been about personality in recent years - yet you went back to 86 to mentioned a very "dour" sportsman who had no personality
Mansell that year lost on the last day when he tyre blew up - had a great year
Im guessing its just a case of just disagreeing with me for the sake of it.
